The SteamVR build is busted. Don't get this version of the game unless you're using any Oculus headsets. Launching the game from the desktop without running SteamVR forces it into an Oculus environment, which actually lets you grab things. Why the SteamVR bindings are broken are beyond me. Very rough launch.

Apart from the physics/loading bugs and lack of smooth turning, this is by far one of the best HN games I've played

All of the puzzles no longer boil down to "find the non-randomized number combination" and some of them actually utilize lore

Peterson did a significantly easier job at scaring me on my first playthrough and still manages to keep me tense in future playthroughs

Parkour mechanics felt relatively smooth

The way story was being told kept me hooked longer than the other HN games

The crowbar and two-handed grabbing do need re-working, things get really janky when holding an item with both hands

The Little Bandit achievement seems to be broken, as is the Unlucky Number achievement (I've been helloed more times than I can count. No LIttle Bandit achievement. Unlucky Number stopped tracking after 4 coins.)
